A photograph inside a large hall with a crowd seated on the floor and in white chairs. A man seated on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests wears a rust-red turban, a rust-red robe, a gold pendant and a long gold beaded necklace, and he has a pink and white flower garland around his neck. He raises both hands in a teaching or blessing gesture, and a microphone is clipped near his face. Surrounding devotees in saffron, green, white and pink clothing clap and sit attentively. Large screens on the walls show a red-clad crowd, and a tall golden staff stands at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a rust-red turban, a rust-red robe, rudraksha beads and a gold pendant necklace, consistent with discourse on a throne.
